That means the season can lead
to changes in mood, energy, so-
cial activity, sleep, appetite and
weight.
Researcher Pamela Madden,
of Washington University School
of Medicine in St. Louis, and her
colleagues found that the reason
is most likely genetic. Partici-
pants who were affected by win-
ter reported sleeping and eating
more and gaining weight during
cold-weather months. Those who
were affected by summer re-
ported decreases in weight, food
consumption and sleep. Partici-
pants who suffered from season-
ality were more likely to be
bothered by winter than sum-
mer.
While 13 percent of the people
"complained that seasonality was
a personal problem," researchers
reported in the American Med-
ical Association's Archives of
Self motivation
was the most
powerful key to
success.
General Psychiatry, "only 2 per-
cent of our sample reported a
degree of seasonality that re-
sembled the response of patients
who were clinically diagnosed as
having seasonal affective disor-
der." SAD is the most extreme
form of seasonality.
Studying the twins led re-
searchers to conclude that "there
is a tendency for seasonality to
run in families, and this is large-
ly owning to a biological predis-
position."
WEIGHT TO LOSE
People who successfully lose
weight and keep it off do it for
themselves, say University of
Rochester researchers in a recent
issue of the Journal. of Personal-
ity and Social Psychology.
Examining 128 obese patients
enrolled in a six-month Optifast
program, they found that self-
motivation was the most power-
ful key to success.
"Those who were the most self-
motivated or autonomous (i.e.,
who were motivated by an inter-
nal feeling of the importance of
losing weight for themselves,
rather than a feeling of being
pressured to lose weight by them-
selves or others) lost the most
weight and maintained the
greatest weight loss over a two-
year period," says Dr. Geoffrey
Williams, one of the researchers.
"An individual's self-motiva-
tion seems to be a very important
predictor of whether individuals
in a weight-loss program are like-
ly to be effective, not only in los-
ing weight but also in keeping
it off." ❑
